When we last saw the Joker, he had murdered talk show host Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro) on live television, resulting in his being arrested and sent to Arkham Asylum. The above photo shows Fleck shaving, presumably within these walls. The bony physique also remains. For the first film, Joaquin Phoenix lost more than 50 pounds.

Phillips has teased other parts about it Joker: Folie a Deux, but there’s so much unknown about the sequel, especially as far as plot details go. However, the title itself is a French term, referencing a shared psychosis that could hint at how Fleck’s future plans might unfold as the film progresses.

Perhaps this will directly affect Harley Quinn, who was announced earlier this year would be played by Lady Gaga. The announced cast also includes Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener and Jacob Lofland.
